DIURNA LAUS was compiled and issued in 1981, well before the 5 volume Ambrosian Liturgy of the Hours appeared.
While this psalter schema is configured to be structurally similar to other psalter schemas in these pages, it should be noted that the Ambrosian Rite liturgical day begins with 1st Vespers.
Although this is the psalter schema for the four week Sunday and ferial cycle, there is a flexibility built into the schema which allows for options to expand or to enhance the celebration of the Hours liturgy.
This book does not contain "Sunday propers" as so some of the Roman Rite books which are similar (e.g., in England, A Shorter Morning and Evening Prayer, and in the US, Shorter Christian Prayer).
The additional festal/"common" offices which are included have these psalm schemes:
|
Feast |
1st Vespers | Lauds | 2nd Vespers |
| The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ |
|
|
|
| Exaltation of the Cross |
|
|
|
| COMMON OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY |
|
|
|
| OFFICE OF THE DEAD |
|
|
|
| 1 The "Gloria Patri" is not added to the psalms and canticles of the Office of the Dead. | |||
Notes, continued -
The structure of each of these festal/common offices varies slightly.
Midday Prayer, in these feasts and on ordinary days, may be adjusted to provide for prayer at the hours of Terce, Sext and None. Short readings, responsories and prayer are provided for each of these hours. The same is true for ordinary Sundays and weekdays in the psalter.
Additional psalmody is taken from the 33 other "complementary" psalms provided in the Ordinarium.
There is also an additional repertory (similar to an appendix) of various prayer texts which can be substituted within the hours for various seasons or needs.
Additional hymns are also provided. It is always possible to use some of the traditional Latin Ambrosian office chants, published in separate books.
This schema does not include the various prayers which are in each office. There are several for each Vespers and Lauds.
The Praise Psalmody at Lauds is under one antiphon and under one Gloria Patri (after Psalm 116). This is true whether all the psalms are prayed (148, 149, 150 +116) or only one of them (148, 149, 150) + 116. (All of them may always be prayed, but are required only on certain days of the year. Generally, only one of them is chosen + Ps 116).
For the Vespers of the Feasts given above ( The Body and Blood of Christ, The Exaltation of the Cross, and the Blessed Virgin ), the Vespers psalms are all united under one antiphon and one Gloria Patri after the final Psalm (116).
During Vespers, at the Magnificat canticle after the Gloria Patri, the versicle " L'anima mia magnifica il Signore " [Magnificat anima mea Dominum] is recited, followed by the repeated Magnificat antiphon.
In the Office of the Dead, the Goria Patri is not added to the psalms or canticles.
